Wrasse ID

heh, that is a Mcorkster wrasse all day long- I have two of them

 

That's what I'm leaning towards.

Especially after I saw this picture.

Cool Thanks for the input!

I'll post pics if I end up getting it tomorrow

 

word to the wise ...under no circumstances add any other wrasses- it will be all out war. just don't do it- trust me.

 

Not planning on it ;D

 

With your fish list I think you will be totally fine. What size tank? I personally agree on the mccosker flasher. Carpenter wrasses can have attitude if they are significantly larger than the rest of your fish ( not applicable in your case due to the small fish size) but just a word for the wise. 14 bucks is a steal, that fish would be normally 60 bucks in a store. Let us see em if you decide to pick it up! When they start flashing they look really
Amazing too IMO. Good luck!

 

Guess who's home with me acclimating as we speak! Mr. McKosker's flasher Wrasse!
;D

It is a McKosker, for sure. The single fin is very small though. It is, after all, very young.

So I'm going to start up another thread later when it's in the tank. Look out for it!

 

Sweet, congrats on the nice grab. Looking forward to your update on the little guy.

 

He'll probably disappear for a day or two when you first put him in the tank. Mine found a little hiding spot in the rocks and hid for about a day. He may also look a little blotchy when he first comes out of hiding but he should color up quickly.

 

Here's the link to the new thread w/ some pics just in case I don't see him later.
